RT Generic T1 Market potential and city growth : Spain 1860-1960 A1 González-Val, Rafael A1 Tirado, Daniel A. A1 Viladecans-Marsal, Elisabet A2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Historia Económica e Instituciones, AB A few attempts have been made to analyse whether market potential might also have an impact on urban structures. In this paper we employ parametric and non-parametric techniques to analyse the effect of market potential on the growth of Spanish cities during the period 1860-1960. This period is especially interesting because it is characterized by the advance in the economic integration of the national market together with an intense process of industrialization. Our results show a clear positive influence of market potential on city growth.
